cityhomeSOUNDS - Modest Mouse, 'Good News for People Who Love Bad News'

For this session we'll be listening to the 20th anniversary pressing of Modest Mouse's 2004 album, 'Good News for People Who Love Bad News'.

A little bit about the carefully crafted system that Eli has curated...

• At the heart of our setup is a vintage Thorens TD160 MKII turntable, renowned for its precision and clarity. This Swiss-made classic brings out the nuances in every groove, faithfully reproducing the artist's intent.
• Powering our system is the legendary McIntosh MC275 vacuum tube amplifier. This audiophile favorite delivers rich, dynamic sound with a touch of tube warmth that perfectly complements vinyl playback.
• For speakers, we alternate between two exceptional pairs. Our vintage Pioneer Exclusive (TAD) speakers from the 1970s offer a glimpse into the golden age of hi-fi, with their detailed and expansive soundstage. Complementing these are the modern Zu Soul 6 speakers, built right here in Utah and known for their efficiency and lifelike presentation, bringing a contemporary edge to our listening experience.

And here's some additional info for the evening so you can come prepared:

• Doors will open 15 mins before the listening session starts. Please arrive punctually, so we have plenty of time to settle in and listen.
• We invite you to put your phones away, get cozy and explore the idea of intentionally listening. Let's be present, so we can enjoy the sacred soundwaves.
• If we have some extra time after the album, Eli will tap into his personal record collection and give us a taste of some of his current favorite songs, artists and albums.

Home has always been and will always be about listening. Let’s do it together, one song at a time, at our home in the city.
